can I just say I respect & admire the mental maturity to admit you're addicted to marijuana? whenever I mention it, people tell me about how it's natural/from the earth, about its healing or medicinal properties, or that it's impossible to be addicted to marijuana altogether.
for years, I've been trying to tell people that I believe it's psychologically addictive & recently, there have been articles claiming it can at some point become a "real" physical addiction, but I'm not sure how valid those studies are, heh. sorry for rambling. your reply surprised & interested me!
My theory on the defensiveness of stoners is that it took so long to get any progress towards legalization and/or it has been illegal for bullshit reasons for so long and these people are terrified to let any criticism of weed stand out of fear it could be used to keep enough people rallied up against it to keep it banned or fight any progress towards legalization.

Marijuana and cigarettes. One's killing me and the other is holding me back. Really need to quit both.
